The Benefits of Using A 4 Roll Plate Bending Machine

MG Plate Rolls & Plate Rolling MachinesMetal-working companies who need to optimize their production look for a machine that can pre-bend and roll their metal efficiently to produce the products they in turn sell. We carry a 4 roll hydraulic plate bending machine and a 3 double pinch plate bending machine which both offer great benefits. The 4 roll machine offers great precision, productivity, versatility as well as speed, safety and ease of operation. For companies in the fabrication industry, they need top-quality machinery in order to maximize production and profits.

 

Here’s a look at some of the benefits of using a 4 roll plate machine and why you should consider it for your manufacturing process.

 

Speed – The most accurate bends come from the 4 roll machines. Our model “MH” has both upper and lower rolls, which are hydraulically powered to grant minimum friction and a precision rolling.  Even when the machine is at maximum capacity, the machine will roll with precision, allowing for more production.

 

Accuracy – The rolls operate in such a way to form an accurate pre-bent and rolled part.  Pre-bending on the three-roll machine requires a downward tilt as plate is fed in the machine. In a four-roll machine a horizontal load feed level for pre-bending is used, which allows motorized feed tables to feed the plate without having to re-position the material.

 

Ease Of Use – For three roll machines, an operator pre-bends both edges and then rolls the part.  Four-roll machines do not require such operation. Instead, the four-roll machine is more efficient. Less operator skill means less chance for error, but more importantly, more time for production and cost saving.

 

Plate rolling has really taken off recently in the manufacturing sector and a demand for plate rolling machines is high.  Consider a four-roll machine from C Marshall Fabrication Machinery, Inc. For jobs large and small, we have the machines to help you become more efficient.

SAIPEM DO BRAZIL chooses MG for offshore platforms in the Atlantic Ocean

The multinational colossus SAIPEM, the biggest Italian company that deals in the Oil & Gas Industry, has chosen MG’s MH460Y with full accessories. The plate roll that is a 4 roll, 12′ machine, capable of rolling up to 2-3/8″, will be installed at Guaruja near Santos in the Sao Paulo region of Brazil. It will be used to build offshore platforms for PETROBRAS in the Atlantic Ocean off the Brazilian coast.

Plate bending machines: Lengths with multiple shapes

The optimization of the productive process leads companies to review their production phases and, where possible, cut down output time and costs. For example, in the construction of large tanks, the use of long plate bending machine helps to reduce further processes, such as welding, yet keeping a high quality standard.

In a period in which the economic crisis is influencing the markets worldwide, MG in Fossano (Cuneo), with over 50 years’ experience, records an increasing demand for big plate and section machines. With its productivity of 2, 3 and 4 rolls plate bending machines, special machines, section bending machines with accessories, MG can satisfy all demands from a minimum length of 20” to a maximum of 27”, and for a thickness from .040” to 12”. Normally plate bending machine inquiries are from 40” to 10’ length; however, lately the trend seems to be towards longer machines – considerably longer from 12’ to 27’.

Massimo Roccia, president of MG

It’s basically – says Massimo Roccia, President and Co-owner – a range of machines dedicated to the constructions of big tanks for the transport and storage of fluids and fuels.”

This tendency meet the need to optimize the various processes in the realization of the final product – to bend a longer piece means reducing weld joints, thus, saving time and money.
